IGN: Conduit already looks fantastic. What can we expect visually from your next Wii project?


Eric: Stop by our booth at E3. We'll have something really impressive to show you. [Smiles]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

That sounds awesome.

What sounds much more awesome is that I'll be representing VGC and talking to them about said unanounnced projects at E3 

 

 

DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HEEEEEELLLLL! *punches ground*  Seriously I wish I could go this year :'(  

You will give me the goods if you can't talk publically about it right? ;)

How much will you pay me?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Actually, I won't charge you anything.

Except for unmitigated control of your sig ;).

I don't even care what NIntendo shows at E3 anymore.
3rd parties are owning me!

 

Ditto.  3rd parties have stepped up this past year and I hope to see more.

 

THIS and THIS!

I really cant wait to see what improments they have done with their engine and new games.

 

I am wondering what Nintendo is going to do considering what happened last year..

To be honest, you really just need to consider what little we know about the next couple of months to see that Wii gamers should be happy for quite a while.

  • ExciteBots just came out.  Nothing special, nice game.  Also not long ago we got Madworld.

    Next couple of months:
  • Punch-Out!! (Next week!)
  • Red Steel 2
  • Wii Sports Resort
  • The Conduit
  • Sin and Punishment 2
  • Motion+ Sports games from EA and Ubisoft, among others
  • Monster Hunter (most likely)
  • Dead Space: Extraction
  • Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles and the Archives games
  • Many more multiplatform titles than the Wii had last year and the begiinning of this year

 

Looking beyond that timeframe, we've got:

  • More unannounced exclusives from High Voltage
  • EA has 50% of their teams dedicated to Wii games
  • Ubisoft has been promising 'Nintendo-like quality'

 

I'm too tired to think of more (it's 2:45 in the morning where I am), but wow, that list punched me in the gut when I thought about it earlier today.  We're still WEEKS away from E3, and Nintendo's hyping up 'secret games' to press websites, putting cryptic ads in magazines, and telling us how awesome this year's show will be.

Really, it's safe to say that Wii won't be experiencing any more software droughts for a while

Don't worry--you can keep your Ness pics.  They'll just depict him getting pwned by ROB instead

We developed several new Wii hardware specific tricks and techniques like Dynametric Light Tightening, Reframbriance, and ¡Approxiflexion! that contribute to The Conduit's performance and unique graphics style.


When I first read this sentence, I was trying to figure out if it was serious or not. Now that I've seen them use these terms again, I realize they are serious, and having fun inventing new terms for creative tricks with the Wii's TEV.

It still reminds me of this guy, though:

But you NEED the Hydrocropic marzalabanes mentioned at 1:12!  They're essential!

They're a gimmick. Side fumbling is rarely a problem during retro-encabulation.

The drawn-reciprocation dingle arm is hot shit, though. Nobody beats Rockwell at innovation.
